算法透明的困境及规制路径研究

算法决策技术的兴起推动了社会发展,同时也带来了算法黑箱、算法合谋、算法操纵等技术和社会风险,必须对算法进行规制以控制风险。算法透明是进行算法规制的前提和基础,由于技术和制度上的障碍,完全彻底的算法透明不现实也不合理,在具体场景中追求有限、适当的算法透明才是有意义的。在算法透明的落实和保障上,行政规制具有独特的优势,通过构建刚柔并济的行政规制体系、促进企业算法合规监管、推进算法备案制度、追究算法披露不当行为责任四项具体行政规制措施,监督和保障算法透明制度的运行,实现科技创新与社会安全之间的平衡与协调。

Research on Dilemma and Regulation Path of Algorithm Transparency

The rise of algorithmic decision-making technology has not only promoted social development, but also brought about such technical and social risks as algorithmic black box algorithmic collusion, algorithmic manipulation, etc. Therefore, algorithms must be regulated to control risk. Algorithm transparency is the premise and foundation of algorithm regulation, however, due to technical and institutional barriers, complete algorithmic transparency is unrealistic and unreasonable. In this sense, it is meaningful to pursue limited and appropriate algorithm transparency in specific scenarios. Administrative regulation has unique advantages in the implementation and guarantee of algorithm transparency. Therefore, the balance and coordination between scientific and technological innovation and social security can be achieved through four specific administrative regulatory measures. The first measure is to establish a rigid and flexible administrative regulation system. The second is to promote the compliance supervision of enterprise algorithms. The third is to promote the algorithm filing system, and the last is to investigate the responsibility of the misconducts in algorithm disclosure.
